[QUOTE="rhubarb73, post: 1896388, member: 478319"] Hiya. It’s important to understand what is happening when you eat carbs. Your blood sugar goes up and you release insulin to bring it down. Because you have T2, you release more insulin than a healthy person (because your body is resistant to it). But of course a spike in insulin levels could (in a normal or T1 person but not in a T2) result in a hypo which is very dangerous. Your body can’t tell the difference so it sends out an urgent hunger signal to stop you falling into a coma. Eat carbs, get hungry, get hungry, eat carbs…… Break the cycle with fat (ignore what they said on the course: fat is your friend). [USER=104933]@AtkinsMo[/USER] produced a great list above. Maybe carry around a jar of peanut or almond butter and a spoon. (check if it spikes you first). The DESMOND course is a joke – all based on the Eatwell plate, which was produced by the Food Industry, for the Food Industry and is possibly the worst advice a T2 could receive. [/QUOTE]
